Even in the DT case, you may be able to set a specific path for DSP firmware and topology but would you really have enough information to describe what the DSP firmware and topology actually do? That information is part of the DSP firmware manifest and topology.
I'd have hoped that for information on firmware we'd be keying off descriptive information included in the firmware/topology itself, ideally the kernel would be able to do that itself.
In addition, the firmware/topology are typically located on the file system, it'd be a hassle to have to edit DT properties every time you have a new distribution update, wouldn't it?
You definitely shouldn't be doing that, but I'd also not expect us to have to update anything that isn't the firmware itself.
